Accentuating the positive

So the song goes.....

I don't want to think that having a chronic illness will make me eternally sad. Only a slight setback, an inconvenience of sorts. I'm not terminally ill.

So with that in mind, I'd like to share some blog-worthy things that remind me that life is good anyway:

I fixed the dishwasher yesterday, no need for a repairman.
It's time for my semi-annual date with Tom.
5 months til Christmas.
It's not storming today.
Alyssa bought a hamster with her hard-earned babysitting money.
My house is clean....well almost.
The flooding rains made my grass look like Ireland.
I feel good today.
I went on a picnic with my friends last week.
The girls and I played pirates in the park.
Mom called me yesterday.
I still have gas in my tank.
The central air works very well.
My hair turned out the way I wanted it to.
Low humidity.
My children love playing with the old super nes.
All the neighborhood kids like to play at our house.

and the last one:
I am still cool!

Here I am

Seeing its been almost a month since my last post, I didn't want anyone to think I died or something. Nope, not yet.

This past month has been a real rollercoaster ride although I've been stuck at the lower end of the ride lately. A couple hills here and there but mainly in the valleys. Meaning: I haven't been well. It's been a frustrating battle of not knowing what's wrong and thinking am I crazy? That battle finally ended almost two weeks ago .

The diagnosis? Fibromyalgia.

So I'm not crazy. What a relief. Wait a minute! What do you mean there's no cure??!

Come, let's take a ride down my new road. I hear it's a rough one but the scenery is beautiful. Let's wait and see.
